Discussion

Fermentation temperature affects sauerkraut chiefly by

  • A.Changing the amount of salt that will dissolve in the juice
  • B.Deciding how finely the cabbage needs to be shredded
  • C.Setting the colour of the finished product and nothing more
  • D.Determining which organisms in the succession dominate

Answer: D

A cool fermentation near 18 degrees favours the full succession and gives the best flavour, while warm conditions let the lactobacilli overrun the early stage and produce a harsher product. Temperature selects among the organisms rather than acting on the cabbage itself.
